muy lit t-onvuftwi tht-rointo hy thtl moving' t or discharge tip 4 isclosed by a plug 20 which may be removed to permit the insertion andremoval of a ball 19, when necessary, to supply renewals. The tip orreducer t of the burner is provided with a plurality of outwardlydiverging kerfs or discharge apertures 2l, of which a. suitable numbermay be irovided and at desired 'positions at the re ucing portion 22 ofthe reducer or tin t. f

In operation, the fluid fuel, such as gas or oil, may be admitted fromthe pipe 7 into the common conductor 5 and a supply of atomizing mediumalso forming a vehicle may be admitted from the supply pipe 8; theatomizing medium and fuel passing from the pipe 5 about the plug l0 byflowing through the inclined channels 18. yThese give the 'mixture aswirling motion in the cavity of the reducer or chamber causing the ballto be highly agitated and moving with considerable force withilrthereducer 9 so as to constantly scour the walls of'the same to dislodgesticky substances therefrom, and further having the function of grindingsuch hard or solid substances as may be carried in the fuel so that thesubstances can be freely conveyed through the discharge apertures 14 ofthe initial grinding part of the burner into the body 2 of the burner,through which the moving fluid will pass, under pressure, through thechannels or slots 17 of the .second plug 1G in the burner. Here themixture will be subjected to a further mixing and grinding action of thelarger ball 19 at thetip end of the burner. The mixture passes throughthe discharge mouths 21 of the tip 4- of the burner where ".le fuel willbe intimately subjected to mixture and contact with oxygen in the airabout the tipof the burner andthoroughly consumed by combustion whenignited.

Actual operations with a burner of this type have shown that a minimumquantity of oil or fluid fuel may be thoroughly consuu'ied. when mixedwith an atomizing agent or medium and discharged at the tip of theburner into the presence of oxygen, thus` prmlueiug an ecouoi'iricalconsuu'iptiony of Vl'uel in proportion to the heat` units dereloped.This is the result of the thorough intcruiingling of the atomizi'ngagentand the fuel within the burner by means of the movable agitating deviceswhich not only action and eliminating the necessity of fre-` quentlydismounting the burner for the simple purpose of cleaning its interiorof accretlons and solid deposits.

HavingA thus described my invention, what I'elaim and desire to secureby Letters Patent is-- 1. A liquid fuel burner comprising a tubularcentral body, a feed pipe attached at one end thereof for conveyance ofmixed fuel and anatomizing fluid, a plug at the inlet end of the bodywith diagonal slots, an inner chamber with outlets into the central partand into which the slots discharge from the feed pipe, and a ballconfined Within the inner chamber and agitated by the fiuid flowingltherethrough for aiding the atomization of the fuel.

l 2. An oil burner comprising a central body, an initial mixing and feedpipe attached thereto, inner mixing and grinding chambers at each end ofsaid body, each of said chambers inelosing a loose ball, andhavingdiagonal feed slots for swirling the oil about the ball, and dischargeports from said chambers.

3. An oil burner made of standard pipe' fittings, comprising a nipple orcentral body part, a reducer on the feed end thereof, said nipple beingprovided With an inner reducer closed at the inner end and forming abushing with discharge ports, a plug with diagonal slots in the inletend of the bushing, a hall confined in the bushingv and movable by theswirling oil, a reducer on the discharge end of the nipple .with slotsfor Aoil discharge, a plug closing the outer end of the latter reducer,a diagonally slotted at the inlet end of the latter, and a bal inclosedtherein;

ln testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
